Review on Globe CT IV Classic Skate Medium Men's Shoes and Fashion Sneakers by Mark Repp

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I would give it 5* but the size 10 fits almost like a size 11 and came with the wrong laces

I was so happy to see that they became again did! It was the only style and brand I wore for many years because they were so comfortable, exceptionally cool looking and durable. As I opened my new pair, I immediately noticed a mistake that only a blind or color blind person could make. Hidden in my black and white CT-IVs was a second pair of pink shoelaces instead of black (lost a star in the review). After lacing them up my heart was broken because they were almost 2 sizes too big (lost a star in the rating) and yet the tag showed a size (10) that I had worn for many, many years. No foreign smell, it smelled like new shoes. The quality and looks are as amazing as ever and almost damn comfortable. I find the only comfort difference I feel to be in the outsole, but otherwise everything is similar to my old pairs. They came in Globe's signature parchment paper box, the shoes were stuffed with plain paper and had a Globe sticker on them. I can honestly say I will definitely be buying these as long as they last and hopefully they will NEVER STOP. I will only downsize to fit and make a note to ensure correct color of laces supplied. All in all, if you've ever worn and loved/loved them, you won't be disappointed! I would only suggest reducing the size to half what you are used to. After I move, I will definitely buy 4-8 more pairs as soon as possible. PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING THESE COOL AND BENEFICIAL CT-IV CLASSICS! Thank you Globe and Chet Thomas for making the coolest, most comfortable shoes I've ever worn! TAKE MY MONEY NOW! -UPDATE- After seeing the pink laces fixed, the seller informed me that Globe is giving male and female buyers pink laces as a second pair for this colorway, not black. Which doesn't make sense. I will contact Globe to find out why and update my review with information. Update: Globe does not sell the black/white/gum colorway with a pair of pink laces. The seller of this item says yes. They are said to come with black and white laces.

Pros
  • Crotch in the insole
Cons
  • Really don't like it everything is fine
